June 3, 2009
Dear Referring Physcians,
Imaging Specialists is proud to be the first American College of Radiology accredited open 3T MRI facility in the nation. We are pleased to include digital mammography and CT among our ACR accreditations as well.
We installed the Siemens Verio open 3T MRI in 2008 to provide our patients with the most advanced technology available today. It offers twice the signal and speed of the traditional 1.5 T MRI, delivering unsurpassed image detail and clarity in conjunction with patient comfort.
Our eighteen board certified radiologists are highly trained in neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, women’s imaging, interventional and diagnostic radiology and stay abreast of the latest technology in all specialties. Our staff provides five-star service, same-day appointments, day and evening appointment times, and accurate results within 24 hours of an appointment.
Our 14,500 square foot facility houses comprehensive radiology services including:
• digital X-ray
• advanced CT
• open 3T MRI
| Please note: The 3T MRI’s open configuration enables Imaging Specialists to accommodate large patients, including the morbidly obese. We have completed numerous tall, muscular and obese studies, with high resolution on patients over 500 pounds. |
• 3D/4D ultrasound
• dedicated Woman’s Imaging
The private, beautifully appointed Women’s Imaging suite at Imaging Specialists offers:
• digital mammography with CAD
• 3D/4D ultrasound
• DEXA bone densitometry
• 3T breast MRI with advanced breast coils
• CAD guided breast MR biopsies.
Most importantly, we provide same-day results to anxious patients.
We offer a specialized web portal that allows you to view results in your own office. Call Stephanie Gallo at 881-4020 for onsite installation. For your convenience, we now offer online orders at www.ImagingSC.com.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss a patient, please contact us at 881-4020. We look forward to partnering with you to provide your patients with the very best imaging services available.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Garovich, M.D.
